• James 3:13-18
  Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
   
• Proverbs 1:2-7
  To know wisdom and instruction,
  To perceive the words of understanding,
  To receive the instruction of wisdom,
  Justice, judgment, and equity;
  To give prudence to the simple,
  To the young man knowledge and discretion—
  A wise man will hear and increase learning,
  And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
  To understand a proverb and an enigma,
  The words of the wise and their riddles.
  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
  But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

• Proverbs 8:1-7
  Does not wisdom cry out,
  And understanding lift up her voice?
  She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
  Beside the way, where the paths meet.
  She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
  At the entrance of the doors:
  " To you, O men, I call,
  And my voice is to the sons of men.
  O you simple ones, understand prudence,
  And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
  Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,
  And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
  For my mouth will speak truth;
  Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
  
   
• Ecclesiastes 7:11-12

  And profitable to those who see the sun.
  For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense,
  But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.
